Otherwise she opens herself up to the "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" by the Perry campaign.

Maybe it’s because she’s not a Conservative, and Perry is currently pretending to be.

I guess being a Washington insider is a terrible thing in 2010 but not in 2012. @MikeInEuless Well played. I guess being a Washington insider is a terrible thing in 2010 but not in 2012.

Look, I'll be the first to say that Bush got an overly bad rap, or, at least the bad things he did were exploited way more than the good things, like his efforts against AIDS and what he did for this State, however there is a VERY bad general taste left in the mouth of the rest of the country about Texas politicians. Perry would only emphasize the stereotype. His personal "good ol boy network" resembles an Aggie frat house. Part of me would support him for President, (He'd lose to John Gosselin at this point) just so we could speed his exit out of politics all together. No, No, No, Never, Never, never!
